Today the love of my life, while still younger than I am, is officially in the MIDDLE of his fourth decade on earth. This blog is going to be short and sweet because we have so much going on today (much of it not even related to his birthday, poor guy). But still, he should know, and you should know, that I know how incredibly lucky I am to have a guy like him. You know?

Many people go their whole lives without finding someone with whom they can really connect, someone who supports them unconditionally no matter what, someone who can consistently make them laugh at least once a day. I’m so fortunate that I have found all three wrapped up in the same person. He’s the first one to read anything I write, the first voice I want to hear every morning, the first one by my side in a crisis (and we’ve certainly had plenty of those). He’s an amazing dad and the kind of guy you want on your team, no matter what kind of castle onslaught you’re planning.

So just for him, I am posting this video that I am 1200% sure will make him laugh. Happy birthday, honey. Enjoy some people walking into doors.
